While services like Soundiiz focus on playlist transfers between music services like Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, Qobuz, and Amazon Music, SYC PRO specializes in downloading and converting content from platforms that don't typically support direct transfers.

Step-by-Step Transfer Process

Step 1: Install SYC PRO

Download SYC PRO from the official website and install it on your Mac. You'll get a free one-day trial with unlimited downloads—no restrictions on quantity or quality.

Step 2: Copy SoundCloud URLs

Navigate to SoundCloud and find the tracks you want to transfer music from. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar. SYC PRO automatically detects copied URLs through clipboard monitoring, so you can copy multiple track URLs in succession for batch processing.

You can also transfer playlists from SoundCloud by copying each track URL individually. You can even batch-copy multiple URLs for YouTube playlist downloaders or SoundCloud tracks.

Step 3: Configure Download Settings

To transfer your SoundCloud tracks to Apple Music, select “audio” in the SYC PRO window, choose MP3 or AAC converting as your file format, and then select Apple Music as the transfer location.

Step 4: Edit Metadata

Click "Edit" next to any track to modify metadata (information about the song):

  • Song title
  • Artist name
  • Album information
  • Artwork
  • Genre
  • Release year

You can edit manually or let the AI auto-complete metadata fields. This simple way ensures your music library stays organized.

Step 5: Start the Transfer

Hit "Download" to begin. A progress bar tracks the conversion and transfer process. When complete, you'll see a "Done" confirmation, and the track appears in your Apple Music library.

Why SYC PRO Works Best for Music Streaming

  • Speed: Downloads process 6x faster than browser-based alternatives, often completing in under 5 seconds.

  • Quality: Maintains original audio quality during conversion and transfer. It even lets you download videos in 1080p quality and get videos in 4k.

  • Batch Processing: Handle multiple tracks simultaneously instead of one-by-one transfers.

  • iOS Integration: Converts files to Apple-compatible formats automatically.

  • Clean Experience: No ads, malware, or interruptions during the process.

Close other resource-intensive apps while processing large batches to maintain optimal download speeds.

SYC PRO goes beyond basic audio conversion. You can download videos with subtitles and learn how to download YouTube on iPhone for mobile transfers.

Content Restrictions and DRM Limits

You can only transfer content you have permission to stream. SoundCloud Go+ exclusive tracks require an active music subscription to that service. Private tracks need proper access permissions from the uploader.

SYC PRO converts streamable content—it doesn't bypass digital rights management (DRM) or access restricted material.

Pricing and Access

SYC PRO offers a complete free trial for one day. After that, it costs $3.33 monthly (billed annually) and includes access to 15 other Softorino apps through their Universal License.

The trial includes full functionality, so you can test the complete transfer process before committing to a music subscription.

What Happens to Your Music Library

Transferred tracks integrate with Apple Music. They appear alongside your existing library, maintain proper metadata, and sync across all your Apple devices through iCloud Music Library. You don't need an Apple Music subscription for this to work.

Transferred tracks require iCloud Music Library to be enabled for cross-device syncing. Find this setting in Settings > Music > Sync Library on iOS, or Music > Preferences > General on Mac. Check your Apple Music settings if tracks don't appear on other devices.

The tracks become part of your offline collection, so you can listen without an internet connection or SoundCloud account.

Alternative Methods (Why They Fall Short)

  • Manual Download + Import: Time-consuming tutorial process that often results in missing metadata or poor audio quality.
  • Screen Recording: Captures system audio but degrades quality and requires extensive editing.
  • Third-Party Music Services: Most online tools are slow, ad-heavy, or produce low-quality results compared to dedicated software.
  • Soundiiz: While Soundiiz excels at transferring playlists between established music streaming services like Spotify, YouTube Music, and others, it doesn't support direct SoundCloud downloads.

Summary

SYC PRO provides the most efficient method to transfer songs to Apple Music from SoundCloud. The service combines speed, quality preservation, and metadata editing in a single tutorial-friendly interface. While alternatives exist, they typically sacrifice either quality, speed, or user experience.

For users managing music across multiple platforms, SYC PRO serves as a bridge between content discovery on SoundCloud and organized listening through Apple's music streaming service.
